At first glance, the Birmingham in Streets of Myth looks a lot like ours. The buildings look about right. The clothes are the same. The kids listen to hip-hop and hard rock. Birmingham's neighbourhoods are roughly the same too: Aston, Digbeth, Nechells, The Jewellery Quarter & more.

But instead of a city, they are a loose collection of gangs and petty rivalries, tied together and policed by the weakened and corrupt forces of The Crown. These gangs aren't quite like our gangs though. They don't have guns.

They have swords, spears and the ancient martial traditions of the Far East. Each neighbourhood has their own power structure, their own laws and their own fighting style.

The Streets of Myth are a place that lies at the intersection of DJ's and dim-maks, kings and graffiti, B-boys and bloodied swords.

Our first steps into a larger world...

The first film set in the Streets of Myth universe will make its way to the Internet nine days from now.

We'll be spending those nine days scoring (with original music!), finishing off the colour correction and sound mix and generally dotting every I and crossing every T before hitting the "upload" button with some combination of joy and dread.

Once this goes into the wild, this blog will start looking forward to the series proper, with profiles of the different characters, sample pages of scripts and updates on all things Mythic...
